Pros

• Very flexible work schedule, but dependent on your role and manager. Upper management says one thing where Team level goes by their choice. • There are some great people on the teams to help and collaborate with.

Cons

• After all these years, they still cannot get it right or figure it out, and after multiple acquisitions and change of hands, it just keeps getting worse with the constant resets. • You say you want to be a global company, but you rely too heavily on your UK office, which is out of touch with your global audience and, more so, your American audience, to which most of your products are being pitched! • There is a massive lack of diversity, which probably concerns them constantly trying to hire in the UK for roles. • The UK office practically makes all major managerial decisions • Pay and job level are not decided by your skill set or year of experience. • Teams within departments are siloed and focus only on their business objectives. Specific teams are often left to scramble, being last in the process or priority. Others lack mutual respect or assistance for various teams. • Pay employees' salaries below market value and inflation and have begun to outsource to lower-cost locations for talent. • Poor leadership, especially on the executive front. They seem super out of touch with the team’s needs, and complaints fall on deaf ears. • Low career advancement.

Pros

Good PTO for those there before PE Veritas took over; Great health benefits before Veritas took over; great matching 401k before Veritas took over: sharp research teams but many have left to go to competitors that are public or start up competitors

Cons

PE Veritas is ripping company apart, giving zero equity for employees = zero motivation to work harder for double digit sales growth with less resources, cutting headcount or offshoring employees to India for cheaper labor/lowering expenses; Since PE Veritas bought WM employees have less benefits, less matching for 401k, less PTO, top leadership all British/Scottish with zero American rep weak but finally have an American representative with new CEO

Pros

Good pension and good bonus. Shame about the pay

Cons

The whole set up of the company is adversarial with very few people staying longer than 2 years. During my time, from my immediate team 3 people left. After I left another 3 left! Crazy turnover rate. Why? Because their is bullying and an awful work atmosphere. I was specifically told not to help younger/newer members as "they need to learn on their own". Goes completely against the ethos of a normal human. I thought I had it bad but others got bad mental health issues from working at WM. The all seem rpoud of paying below market rates because they want "people in it for more than the money". Odd thing to be proud of! S&P/IHS Markit is a much much better company
